This is a collection of Prince interviews from the late 1970's, when he was still in high school, right up to right before his untimely death. Like the artist himself, the interviews are elusive, frustrating, hilarious, and thought-provoking. You get the feeling that he is uncomfortable with the whole process, and interviewers struggle to get any sort of answers from him at times. But occasionally he does open up and offer some intriguing insights and observations. Overall, it gives the sense that Prince was a one-of-a-kind talent, who simply loved to play music and was truly thankful that others wanted to hear what he had to offer.

I've been looking at a couple of these "The Last Interview" books and was intrigued, but wondered how compelling they'd be. I'm in Seattle and found this in a local bookstore the day before I went to the Museum of Pop Culture to see the Prince exhibit (among others), so I thought reading this before going to the museum would be the perfect "prep." And I really enjoyed it! I loved the way they compiled the interviews. It gave a nice overview of Prince through the years and told the reader a bit of his story.

I think this is a great addition to the "Last Interview" series. He wasn't one to grant access to people who wanted to interview him, but what was compiled over the years is a good solid look into his life and music. This is definitely a must-read for Prince fans!

I love Prince and his music and everything about him since I was a child, but living in a country with not so much information, was hard to be up to date with everything that happened in his life.
This book it’s perfect in all the ways I needed and wanted to read and think about him.
Thanks the author for coming up with this idea and bringing us a small but important part of this iconic character that will be alive for many years through his music.

Come for the introduction by Hanif Abdurraqib, stay (or skim) the rest.

Nice compilation of material, especially since Prince didn't grant many people acces throughout his lifetime, and a worthy addition to the Last Interview series.

This is a compilations of Prince's various interviews throughout his career starting from high school into the final years before his death. It gave an insightful look into his life & career, and the values that shaped his music. My favorite interviews in the collection had to be on Veganism & the him explaining the development of his music video "The Most Beautiful Girl in The World".
